    Read it before, went over and read it again.

    I'm mildly fond of the genre personally but honestly it doesn't really do it for me. If I hadn't read the other, better fics from the genre then I'd probably have enjoyed it more but to be honest it really just fell flat.

    I mean its not bad. It just fails utterly at being origional, it doesn't even really have an origional slant on old ideas.

    2.5/5 Rounded up to 3

    too many shitty fanon cliches for me to handle. 1/5.

    This fic certainly fails muster by traditional DLP standards and is definitely not Library material. However it did inspire enough curiosity that I went through the whole fic. 2/5 at best.

    Could you mention any similar HP-themed fics. I like the concept and would like to read some better fics if they exist.

    I want to like this a lot more than I do. The concept is still refreshing to me, and I'd love to see a "Game" story written well.

    This isn't that story, though. 2/5.

    The bashing is goddamned ridiculous as well.

    That's the problem, the handful of fics that exist aren't all that better. The ones I've come across include:

    Harry Potter and the Natural 20 by Sir Poley is probably the best known story in this genre although its D&D and not video game based. It's actually pretty good:

    Harry Potter and the Munchkins is another one I read a while back. It had some interesting points but fizzled out:
    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8923104/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Munchkins

    Another D&D one, also unfinished and has some serious bashing is Ranger Harry:

    Are there any other ones that are a decent or even guilty pleasure read?
